In creative news, I've purchased the yarn to make a new sweater, am working on a new fabric backpack and talked myself out of signing up to be a craftsperson for the school holiday craft fair.

My interning continues to be a huge blessing in my life... I feel like I may actually be able to refer to myself as a 'good cook' one day.
